(closed) Old Business There being no Old Business to discuss, the Council moved on to New Business. New Business 1. Dr. Capps made a motion to adopt the following proposal for the Wilson School of Nursing; Dr. Little seconded and the motion was adopted (closed). Accelerated Nursing Degree Program The MSU Wilson School of Nursing proposes the development and implementation of an accelerated second-degree pre-licensure BSN program (ACCEL-RN).

2 2 Rationale: An innovative approach to nursing education is the accelerated second-degree program for non-nursing graduates. These programs build on previous learning and work experiences and transitions individuals with non-nursing undergraduate degrees to the discipline of nursing. Often called second-degree programs, these degree plans accomplish programmatic objectives in a shorter timeframe than traditional four-year programs. Courses are offered full-time in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Successful students in these programs are often described as bright, inquisitive, and sophisticated consumers of higher education who are actively pursuing learning opportunities (AACN, 2011). The implementation of will allow the WSON to increase enrollment by gaining access to needed clinical sites during the summer months, when clinical sites are available. In addition, ACCEL-RN students will be able to access the J.S. Bridwell Regional Simulation Center during the summer months when demand from other students and partners is lower. Using the current MSU Core Curriculum, the proposed program will require the same number of semester credit hours for completion as our pre-licensure BSN program (128). With the implementation of the new 42-hour core, the ACCEL-RN program will require no more than 121 hours for completion. The proposed time line for implementation of this program is as following: 1. Approval at all levels: (Nursing Faculty Organization, College Council, Academic Council, Board of Regents, Texas Board of Nursing, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board) Fall Recruitment of potential students Spring Analysis of student need for prerequisite courses to prepare for the nursing program Spring Enroll first cohort (30 students) Summer Enrollment in necessary prerequisite courses by students in the pipeline Summer 2013, Fall 2013, Spring Enrollment of second cohort in ACCEL-RN program (30 students) Summer Graduation of first ACCEL-RN cohort August 2014
